1	Straight Outta Compton (1988) more music like this by N.W.A add to wishlist Straight Outta Compton wasn't quite the first gangsta rap album, but it was the first one to find a popular audience, and its sensibility virtually defined the genre from its 1988 release on. It established gangsta rap -- and, moreover, West Coast rap in general -- as a commercial force, going platinum with no airplay and crossing over with shock ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $8.25!
2	The Best of N.W.A. [CD/DVD] (2006) more music like this by N.W.A add to wishlist The world's most volatile hip-hop group gets compiled again with the 2006 release The Best of N.W.A. The straight-ahead collection differs just a little from 1996's Greatest Hits, although it does contain better liner notes and a worthwhile essay from hip-hop historian Soren Baker. The problem remains that you can't call yourself an N.W.A. fan ... see all copies from $15.11! new only from $18.76!
3	Niggaz4life/100 Miles and Runnin' (2002) more music like this by N.W.A add to wishlist see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
4	Niggaz4life (2002) more music like this by N.W.A add to wishlist Like 100 Miles and Runnin' (1990), the five-track EP that preceded it, N.W.A's third full-length album, Niggaz4life, courts controversy in every imaginable way, from its title (printed backward on the cover, as a mirror image) down to its mercilessly misogynistic second half, and it remains shocking years later, no matter how many times the ... see all copies from $9.88!
5	MTV the First 1000 Years: Hip Hop (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist It may be hard to get beyond the title of Rhino's series MTV the First 1000 Years, which just may be the dumbest title in the first 1000 years of the recording industry, but the actual discs aren't bad at all. For instance, the Hip Hop volume is a terrific collection of hip-hop staples from "The Message" to "Player's Ball." Most of these songs ... see all copies from $1.99!
6	Greatest Hits [Bonus Track] (1996) more music like this by N.W.A add to wishlist N.W.A.'s career isn't necessarily one that lends itself well to anthologies. Though they had important singles, especially in the underground hip-hop community in the late '80s, they never received any support from radio or MTV, which meant they never had any official "hits." Instead, their albums were more important, popular, and influential, ... see all copies from $12.98! new only from $12.98!
7	In Tha Beginning...Tha Originals (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The In Tha Beginning project seems like a good idea in theory. Take some of the greatest hip-hop singles from the '80s, have some hot '90s stars record new versions, then release companion albums, one containing the originals, the other the covers. It's an excellent marketing scheme that has one major flaw -- there's no way that the new versions ... see all copies from $16.89! new only from $16.89!
8	Long Years in Space (1997) more music like this by The Neighb'rhood Childr'n add to wishlist From the opening fuzz guitar and Farfisa organ riffs of "Feeling Zero," and this is a definite step back in time to a far trippier era of rock & roll. The music contained here is largely a shamelessly derivative batch with nods to all the then-current trends; the Grace Slick-Jefferson Airplane inspired vocals on the title track and "Changes ... see all copies from $12.55! new only from $12.55!
9	Pure Hip Hop Party (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The "party" in the title of any hip-hop or dance collection should be a clear tip off that the album is not a straight collection -- it's a continuous mix dance album, with each song seguing seamlessly into the next. Surely this will appeal to the kind of listener who wants infectious, entertaining background music at a party, but for the average ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $19.99!
10	Ruthless Records Tenth Anniversary: Decade of Game (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Ruthless Records Tenth Anniversary: Decade of Game is a double-disc set celebrating a decade of gangsta rap from Ruthless. The compilation could have been a definitive look at the early days of gangsta rap, but the disc suffers from relying on too many obscurities and album tracks at the expense of hits. That's not a fatal flaw, but it makes the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
11	The Best of Club Mix (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Best of Club Mix is a well-assembled 24-track collection which spotlights dancefloor blockbusters ranging in vintage from the late '80s to the late '90s. The disc offers a solid historical perspective spanning from M/A/R/R/S' landmark "Pump Up the Volume" to Moby's latter-day crossover smash "Bodyrock"; it's also heavy on one-hit wonders like ... see all copies from $1.99!
12	Hard Rap (1989) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $3.36!
13	Greatest Hits (1996) more music like this by N.W.A add to wishlist N.W.A's career isn't necessarily one that lends itself well to anthologies. Though the group had important singles, especially in the underground hip-hop community in the late '80s, it never received any support from radio or MTV, which meant it never had any official "hits." Instead, N.W.A's albums were more important, popular, and influential ... see all copies from $1.99!
14	The N.W.A Legacy, Vol. 1: 1988-1998 (1999) more music like this by N.W.A add to wishlist Not to be considered an N.W.A best-of (1996's Greatest Hits accomplishes that), The N.W.A Legacy, Vol. 1: 1988-1998 is actually a compilation of some of the better cuts from the group, the group members' solo work, and their collaborations with others. In fact, there are only three actual N.W.A tracks on here, "Fuck tha Police," "Alwayz into ... see all copies from $36.53! new only from $36.53!
15	Monster TV Rap Hits (1989) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Monster TV Rap Hits includes a varied cast of turn-of-the-decade rap crossover: "Talkin' All That Jazz" by Stetsasonic, "Move Somethin'" by 2 Live Crew, "God Made Me Funky" by Too Poetic, "Me, Myself and I" by De La Soul, "Stop the Violence" by Boogie Down Productions, "Doowutchyalike" by Digital Underground, "Wrath of My Madness" by Queen Latifah ... see all copies from $63.39! new only from $63.39!
16	The N.W.A Legacy, Vol. 2 [Clean] (2002) more music like this by N.W.A add to wishlist Despite the name, The N.W.A Legacy, Vol. 2 isn't an N.W.A release per se, but a compilation of tracks from the pioneering hip-hop group's members and various associates. Snoop Dogg, for instance, shows up five times (in various permutations), while N.W.A is only represented by three tracks, including album cut "Appetite for Destruction." The other ... see all copies from $11.25! new only from $11.25!
17	Rapmasters, Vol. 6: Best of the Beat (1989) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Released during the late '80s and early '90s, the volumes in Priority's exhaustive Rapmasters series plugged a gap in the rap-compilation market. They offered a decent alternative for rap fans who were on a budget and unable to snap up each single as it became available. In addition to tying up a good amount of classics, a lot of the tracks ... see all copies from $125.94! new only from $125.94!
18	Express Yourself [12" Single] (1989) more music like this by N.W.A add to wishlist see all copies from $29.84!
19	100 Miles and Runnin' (1990) more music like this by N.W.A add to wishlist Following a round of Ruthless Records releases (Eazy-E's Eazy-Duz-It, 1988; the D.O.C.'s No One Can Do It Better, 1989; Above the Law's Livin' Like Hustlers, 1990) and the departure of group member Ice Cube (who released a very successful debut, AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, 1990), Dr. Dre went about producing new N.W.A music for a follow-up to ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $58.97!
20	Straight Outta Compton [Clean] (1988) more music like this by N.W.A add to wishlist Straight Outta Compton wasn't quite the first gangsta rap album, but it was the first one to find a popular audience, and its sensibility virtually defined the genre from its 1988 release on. It established gangsta rap -- and, moreover, West Coast rap in general -- as a commercial force, going platinum with no airplay and crossing over with shock ... see all copies from $6.59!
21	Cell Block Compilation (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Cell Block Compilation has a selection of 16 tracks (plus intro) from hardcore gangsta West Coast rappers, many of which are little-known rappers or cult artists. As a result, the disc functions as a showcase for new talents, and while some of them don't quite make the mark, there's quite a bit of good material here, making it worth a look by ... see all copies from $45.92!
22	Freestyle's Greatest Hits, Vol. 4 [Micmac] (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $8.73!
23	100 Miles and Runnin' [Cassette Single] (1990) by N.W.A add to wishlist see all copies from $37.78!
24	Rapmasters: From Tha Priority Vaults, Vol. 4 (1989) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
25	Rapmasters: From Tha Priority Vaults, Vol. 1 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Rapmasters: From tha Priority Vaults, Vol. 1 is an excellent budget-priced collection that spotlights hardcore hip-hop from Priority's rappers. The disc skillfully balances hits and strong album cuts, making it something more than the average budget-line rap collection -- it's something that would interest aficionados as well as casual fans, ... see all copies from $1.99!
